Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 272 Encounter
When Haipingxing and Andersen were warming up.

The Prince of Wales finally received a message from the submarine heading to intercept the main force of Mirage near Cycad Island.

They found traces of Operation Mirage about a hundred nautical miles southwest of Cycad Island. U47 had already led several U-boats to stop the attack, and the big mackerel and archerfish were also on their way.

Wales knew immediately that the time for a decisive battle was at hand.

"I found a mirage." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Prince of Wales's mouth, and one of his exposed eyes looked at Hood, who was calmly sitting on the flagship.

Hood was using Royal Parade at this time to increase the speed of the entire fleet. When she heard Wales' words, she smiled slightly and said, "I know."

Let's talk, the speed of the fleet suddenly increased again. The Prince of Wales felt that his body was very light, and the speed supported by the ship's equipment magically exceeded the limit of the ship's equipment and exceeded her maximum speed.

Reputation stopped the popular education work for lions and vanguards, and focused its energy back on fighting.

"Where are Rodney and the others now?" Hood moved forward while observing the mirage that might appear at any time.

"They have arrived at Gloria Island." Reputation responded very quickly, "They have met with the commander and are now heading towards Cycad Island."

After hearing this, Hu De smiled slightly: "Then we can't fall behind."

Lion and Vanguard also had smiles on their faces. They didn't come here just for shopping. Being able to contact the enemy so quickly made the two ship girls couldn't help but feel excited, especially Vanguard. As a prestigious student, Vanguard was very early. I wanted to fight with my teacher before, I wanted to let her see my progress, let her understand that she, Avant-Garde, the last ray of light of the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Cruise Line, did not disgrace its prestige.

Avant-garde actually fought with Reputation before becoming a student of Reputation. It was during the time when the Minato District was first established. However, later on, there were more and more ship girls in the Minato District, and the main force was also very deep. Avant-garde and Reputation Gradually retreated. During this period of time, the avant-garde became a disciple and learned such powerful skills as the Royal Navy's Last Glory. But at the same time, the Yingbuki system disappeared and appeared in Huang Jiang's hands, but every time he appeared , usually it's Prestige, and when Vanguard appeared, he was surrounded by battleships except for Hood. Naturally, he had never officially fought with Prestige.

This opportunity was rare, and the vanguard was naturally extremely excited, and his whole person seemed full of fighting spirit.

"Be careful, we are already approaching the direction from which the submarines sent us." Hood warned carefully.

"Didn't the submarines harass the Mirage?" Reputation asked the Prince of Wales.

Wales shook his head and said: "A round of torpedoes was launched, but it did not hit. Now Mirage is sending out anti-submarine troops to try to drive away the U-boat."

"Is it troublesome?"

"It's not bad." Wales replied, "For safety reasons, the submarines dare not follow too close, but there is no trace of the mirage yet."

After speaking, Wales pointed in the direction of Cycad Island, and continued: "They didn't stop, they did go to Cycad Island."

"As expected of the Prince of Wales, he was able to guess the opponent's purpose so easily." Hood was in a good mood. As long as he found the enemy, the rest would be easy to deal with.

"This kind of behavior is actually quite easy to guess. At least it's much easier to guess than where Bismarck went after he was injured." Wales smiled, "Gloria is not big, there are only three islands in the same direction, and it doesn't even matter after thinking about it. Maybe, then the only thing that can attract the mirage's attention is the Cycad Island hanging in the distance."

The lion didn't speak, his eyes moved, and his eyes were fixed on the way forward.

"There is an enemy!" Suddenly, Shi shouted, raised the naval gun, and fired a round of shelling directly forward.

Her firing was so decisive that the vanguard beside her had not yet reacted. Hood and Reputation were very surprised, and the Prince of Wales glanced at the lion with some admiration.The Lion's bombardment missed, but showed the mirage's location very accurately.

After continuing to move forward for a while, all the ship girls saw traces of Mirage's main force in front of their eyes.

The leader is a mirage that looks a bit like a sea urchin. Judging from its characteristics, it is very different from the known ordinary mirages. This mirage does not have a name at all among the mirage captains known to Gloria. .

"Yeyu" is not familiar with Edelweiss Island. I just went to eat a not-so-delicious barbecue once again and got to know a few mirage captains. Obviously, the one in front of me did not meet at "Yeyu". within the scope.

"Just call her 'Sea Urchin.'" Hood said lightly.

"Isn't this bad..." Qianwei said carefully.

Hood didn't pay attention to this. The Royal Navy didn't want a Japanese ship girl. The distinction between her predecessors was so clear. She glanced at the avant-garde and said proudly: "There's nothing wrong with it. She will soon be buried in this sea." , the tradition of the Royal Navy is not to let the opponent that is sunk be left nameless."

"Then do we need to give the remaining mirage captains some names?" Reputation and Hood joked. The two ship girls have a natural affinity. Such a relaxed conversation easily made Vanguard and Hood The lion's fear of the first battle in another world was completely gone.

The vanguard took a deep breath, followed the lion's attack, and launched an attack on the mirage's position.

At the same time, the submarines gathered together and easily defeated the anti-submarine troops who came to hunt them down.Naturally, there is no dedicated anti-submarine sea spirit among the Mirage's main force. This anti-submarine force is obviously temporarily transferred from the nearby sea area by the "sea urchin".

But she won't have the chance to send troops to save her.

The Royal Navy could not give her any breathing space.

not to mention……

With the efforts of the eight destroyers, the Big Mackerel and the Archerfish, the ordinary mirage troops invading Glory Island, Cycad Island and Jimu Island have been completely eliminated. The anti-submarine mirage force that was easily solved by the U-boats just now is the last one. A common mirage troop.

In the entire sea area, only the main fleet of Mirage is left.

After being attacked from the rear, "Sea Urchin" immediately knew that the plan was exposed. The opponent's main force, Sea Spirit, had already come to the door, and the plan to sneak attack on Cycad Island fell through instantly.

However, "Sunfish" is a far-sighted mirage, and she will never let her main fleet rush into the human position recklessly with only one combat plan.

Immediately after being attacked, "Sea Urchin" began to contact the nearby mirage troops.

Apparently, she received no response.

They were wiped out.

"Sea Urchin" soon realized.

At this moment, she made a judgment, gave up the Plan A attacking Cycad Island, turned the bow directly, and rushed towards Jialan Island at the fastest speed.
